M&P 2.0 Custom Backplate, Original fit?

[NewToGuns17]

I'm looking to get a 2.0 and i'd like to match the back plate to the one i have on my shield, a flatline ops backplate. Will the back plate that would fit the original M&P pistol fit the 2.0?

they are one in the same my friend.... knock yourself out!

Are you 100%!? I want to buy a matching flat line ops back plate for my 2.0 that I have on my shield but they're 30$!

One time when I had a 1.0 and 2.0 taken apart to check parts compatibility, I swapped them around and they fit and functioned perfect. And the look identical. At least that's what I'm remembering... I've been known to make a mistake from time to time though. I can try to remember to check when I get home. PM me this weekend if you don't hear back on the forum and I can check it then. That is if someone else doesn't chime in with a confirmation.

Yes please, id really appreciate it! Thank you

just confirmed it. they swap right over. I was pretty sure it was the same part but I didn't want to give you bad advice.

don't you ever get distracted with those decorative plates on the back of the gun, right in your line of sight? I think they're kinda neat but I feel like they would throw off my aim or distract me or something....

Oh, ok...that's kinda cool how it looks like the cocking serrations. I see a lot of them with like white writing on them or emblems and I just can't personally see putting that on my gun to get in my sight line. I've also seen some cats stipple the back plate too which is kinda cool looking.

Yeah I'm not a flashy guy nor do I want to crud up my gun with words. I just wanted to replace that part with a metal part and I like how it fits the gun aesthetically. I ordered it

The stock backplate is metal with a plastic overmold. All plastic wouldn't survive very long.
